YouTubers

First of all, what is a YouTuber? A YouTuber is a person who works for YouTube. That is a person who upload videos in the Internet for entertainment. Once I've introduced the subject, I'd like to comment some aspects about these people.

Lots of people from around the world think that making videos for the community and uploading them is not a job. What I think that they believe is that for them working is going outside and use either their feet or their hands to build a machine, to organize papers, to cook for a school... These people aren't seeing what a YouTuber is doing for the society. They are providing entertainment, one of the most important aspects in our daily lives. Nevertheless, making videos is not as easy as it looks. A well-produced video takes between 8 and 15 hours of edition! I'm one of those people that think that being a YouTuber is a job. They are working, they are editing videos for someone else and also re receiving some money.

Every YouTuber has his own channel where they publish their content. These people also have subscribers. Subscribers are those ones that follow the YouTuber's channel. Of course, YouTubers are getting paid. The economic system on YouTube is based on the timing of views. For example, a person who has made a video of eight minutes, and the average timing of watching that video is three minutes, the YouTuber is going to be paid for those three minutes. That's why all of them want lots of subscribers. If they've got lots of them, they have more chances of getting paid better as people are notified about new videos and so they watch it. In Spain, the YouTuber who has got more subscribers is Rubén, known as elRubiusOMG.

Another aspect that YouTubers have in mind are "likes". The "like" is a button you can press to show to the YouTuber that you have enjoyed the content. It exist the "dislike" button, too. I think it's a good way to show your opinion. Sometimes, writing comments is harder than pressing a button. Also, there are some YouTubers that are asking for likes. They are asking for them because a video that has lots of likes is classified in a list called "Popular videos". And if the video is in this list, there are more possibilities of getting more views.
